Calibrations tips:

For the most accurate results, precision-testing devices should be calibrated immediately before use.

The calibration should be checked occasionally to ensure accurate readings.

Calibration fluid can be re-used if uncontaminated by other fluids and kept in a tightly capped container.

To ensure the most accurate reading from your refractometer, use the 53.0 µS Calibration Fluid as a reference. This particular solution matches the refractive index of 35 ppt seawater. Simply place one drop onto the refractometer and read the value to determine if your refractometer is properly calibrated.

pH swings are very dangerous, as they interfere with basic body functions, leaving fish vulnerable to stress and disease. By educating yourself in the basics of water chemistry, you can help prevent disease and improve the health of your pond fish.

Vital to its inhabitants, your pond water should always be near oxygen saturation. The key to maintaining sufficient oxygen in your pond is understanding its basic chemistry. Learn how to keep the oxygen levels in your pond at a healthy level.
